Muslims Call for Marriage to Christian Women to ‘Strengthen’ Islam in Spain

Hundreds of posters displayed in a migrant-dominated part of
Barcelona are urging Muslim men to marry Spanish women in a bid to
spread Islam, and inviting members of the community to an “information
meeting”.

The posters,
which are derogatory about Christians but call on ‘Brothers’ to marry
women of the religion to “strengthen” Islam, have been plastered through
the neighbourhood of El Raval. Official data collected in 2014 found that 56.7 per cent of residents in El Raval were born abroad.
“It is permissible and encouraged that the Muslim man marries honest
and chaste women who belong to the People of the Book. Even though they
have distorted and altered the tradition, they are still suitable for
marriage.
“Brother, enter a partnership with a Spaniard, teach her that Islam is the true religion.
“Islamic law dictates that the fruits of this alliance will follow
Islam, which will further strengthen our community,” the main body of
text reads.
The posters also invite members of the community to an “information
meeting” on 14 March at an Arab restaurant in the neighbourhood.

Local media reports that El Raval is a key target for Muslim
supremacist groups who say followers of Islam have a “right of return”
to Spain.
One such group, which boasts 40,000 ‘likes’ on Facebook, is ‘Restore
sanctity in Al-Andalus’. Posting in both Spanish and Arabic, the group’s
name refers to the period of Muslim rule in Spain which followed the
land’s violent conquest by Islamic armies.
El Raval is recommended in a post which highlights “suitable places”
for Muslims migrating to Spain to live, in the “first stage” of
recreating Al-Andalus.
Referring to migrants heading way to Spain as “brothers who have begun to make their way back home”, it reads: “We exercise our right of return, Al-Andalus is our home.”
In another post, the group writes:
“The fact that our roots are Andalusian, and that these lands were once
home to our ancestors, fills us with determination to continue working
for our right to return to be respected.”
The Gatestone Institute reported in 2014 that calls from jihadist
groups to reconquer Al-Andalus were “becoming more frequent and more
strident”.
According to the New York City-based think tank,
many Muslims believe that all territories Muslims lost during the
Christian Reconquista of Spain still rightfully belong to Islam. They
claim religious law gives Muslims the right to return to the country and
reestablish Islamic rule. http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/03/08/muslims-marry-christian-women-islam-spain/
